81.6/100Outstanding

WetPuppyAdult

Flavour

Short, readable wet trays with one named animal at 70% and very little behind it. The duck sits in our Outstanding band and chicken, salmon and turkey just behind in Excellent. The starch that is there comes from vegetables and fruit, not cereal.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs held to a single animal, with no unnamed fats or derivatives
Owners who want the meat share in print
Grain-avoiding homes
Rotation feeders. The animal is the only thing that really changes
Dogs that never drink much
Every life stage, puppy to senior, on the same tray

Worth watching

Calcium at 3.6% and 3.57% of dry matter on the duck and turkey, so ask your vet before a large-breed puppy eats them
No vitamin D3 line on the salmon panel
One tray size, so a small dog leaves food to cover and keep cold

Four recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

So little separates the four that you are picking an animal, not a quality level, with the duck a step ahead.

Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 6.0%; 16.1% to 19.7% on the others.
Fat, dry matter: 40.0%; The richest; 32.1% to 35.7% elsewhere.
Calcium, dry matter: 3.6%; 3.57% on the turkey, 2.14% and 2.07% on the others.

The leanest on starch and the top of the range on our scoring.

Every tray has the same shape: one named animal at 70%, a vegetable or fruit or two with their own percentages, minerals and a pinch of slippery elm. No tray has meat and animal derivatives or an unnamed fat. Each prints its own calories, from 130 to 148 kcal per 100g, denser than the typical adult wet food, so portions run smaller.
